We are talking about ‘current’, right? I mean Kobe has one of the most impressive resumes… but The last 5 years he’s had maybe two seasons to compete with LeBron. While I’d say LeBron has been overrated his entire career (constantly being called “the best player on the planet bar none” by idiots ignoring KD’s greatness), he has definitely not only been more popular than Kobe since Kobe’s last championship.. but he’s been more productive on the court as well.

Kobe is my favorite player of all time and even I understand that LeBron should win this matchup. Kobe fans are pretty passionate, though.

The two undeniable best players on the planet post-2010 (Kobe takes that title).

KD is a rare beast. He’s a 4x scoring leader, reigning MVP, is a member of the 50/40/90 club, and made it to the finals only to lose to…

LeBron. LeBron’s athleticism has waned the past year. I don’t need to talk about his 4 MVPs, which a few may have been better of had they been given to Durant, or his insane stat line… or even the fact that he’s improved his 3-point shot. But he’s just not currently as good as Kevin Durant. LeBron is slightly ahead of KD in most stats for their respective careers, but LeBron has seen his prime. KD is entering his.

Durant is just as strong of a defender, and a lot better offensively than James. Durant’s eFG% is 5% higher than LeBron’s so far this season.

With John Wall’s best statistical season, he brings his Eastern Conference Wizards to a very likely home-court playoff spot — they’re currently sitting in second place with a comfy 1.5 game ahead of the 3rd seed.

His crazy ball-handling skills and an improved jump shot and defense make Wall a solid replacement for last years' point guard phenom, Kyrie Irving.
